"Recently I had the pleasure of guiding a prestigious delegation of American
senators who visited Svalbard to learn about climate change in the Arctic.
In terms of priority, climate cannot measure up to the war against terror or
the economy, but on Svalbard the senators confirmed that climate issues are
being taken seriously and that there is increasing domestic pressure to
change the course of American climate policy," writes CICERO Director PÃ¥l
Prestrud.
